An NYC appeals court has overturned a block of $18.2bn in damages against Chevron for polluting the Amazon.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York lifted an injunction against the previous award.
"We can now at least dream there will be justice and compensation for the damage, the environmental crime, committed by Chevron in Ecuador," said the lead lawyer for the plaintiffs.
